i went postal err, i mean coastal today

[danny_galaga]

last day of my holidays and i hadnt really done anything, so i thought id go for a drive. went along the coast as much as i could. i stopped at a town called Tweed Heads for lunch (its twin is called Coolangatta. tweed is in one state, and coolangatta is in another. therefore the novel experience of crossing the street into another time zone  ) . anyway, i found an EB games there and i thought id ask if they had any N64 games (see console section for my new found fascination). they didnt, which i expected anyway but the guy told me about a retro shop in a small town called Murwillumbah (dont worry, even as an aussie i never know how to pronounce these names). since i had no plan at all i decided thats the next stop in my little road trip. Long story short. i end up with jet force gemini and golden eye for 10 bucks each, star wars racer for 8, and a rumble pak for 2 (",)

i drove further down the coast until i had enough. had some nice chinese, and scooted home via the highways.

just in case theres anyone from country NSW on here, this is the shop

The Australian coast is amazing. Well at least the tiny fraction of it which I saw was I'd be afraid to drive there myself though with everyone driving on the wrong side 

Have fun with your purchases. Although I have to admit I have no idea what it is (never seen an N64).

you never heard of a Nintendo 64!? 

[patrickl]

Well I said I never seen one (and thus also never played on one) and also I don't know the games and accessories he mentions.

Goldeneye is a terrific game, one of the best N64 games. It's really fun with multiplayer, too. Proximity mines FTW!

I never did finish Goldeneye, maybe I'll go back and finish it now like I did with Banjo-Tooie.

I need to keep better track of the other aussies on here, especially now that they're threatening to come to Sydney. Perhaps this could be the incentive I need to actually finish my cab...
And Goldeneye is the sole reason I hate proxy mines. Far too many afternoons spent playing with people who knew that game inside out.

Only if you're playing like an absolute scumbag against someone who isn't very good..... like me. Apart from that small issue it's a top game.

I never liked goldeneye.  When some of my friends were going on and on about how it was such a great game, I was playing games like half-life and tribes on the computer.  To me, playing goldeneye felt like a huge step backwards in FPS games.  (yes I know goldeneye came out a year before HL or tribes, but my friends didn't get into goldeneye until late 1998)

You can also play pistols only if you are unfamilar with the maps or if you don't like the proximity mines.
